Simply thread your sashiko needle with some sashiko thread and enjoy stitching over the printed markings. When you are done, wash the panel and the print will wash completely away. Press face down with a steam iron. Note" This panel is such a dark navy it is hard not to argue it is black. The colour makes a good contrast for the sashiko threads, but if you want to see 'blue' as the background this one might not be a good choice. Panel is 52cm X 110cm 100% cotton fabric Design is printed in wash away ink. Do not get wet and do not iron until all your stitching is finished. Designed by Hitomi Fujita I've included general instructions for sashiko stitching in English which you can apply to this design Use it for a wall hanging, or a runner, or incorporate it into a Japanese quilt design or boro throw quilt. I can't help but think if you have a long narrow window, two of this panel would make an amazing pair of curtains!
